I bought a presto too a couple of months ago and never had the chance to use it. Just don't understand why it takes so long to adopt a simple fare card system wide, something even third world countries are capable of doing. So for me, it is the stupid little tokens most of the time too.

if you work right by Union Station, that is perfect. I work at Yonge/Dundas. Normally if I have an evening flight after work, I normally take the TTC, which will take 65-70 minutes to Pearson, including the subway/bus waiting time. but we all know TTC service is...

not that I don't agree with your points, but it seems cobblestone and trees and sometimes small waterplay fountains are the best Toronto can do. Look at NPS, YDS, and QQ, we never have anything beyond that. Those pathetic fountains that are on occassional at NPS/YDS make me want to cry - are...

rude maybe but well said.

The zoning is stupid. What kind of city of 6 million allows only 20 m building downtown on a subway route? Between front and Yonge it should be unlimited.

the point is, for the scale of the project, it doesn't look good. A good start? You talk as if such projects happen every 5 years. Next time something as major as this happens you and I may be already dead. Low standard is the right word for it. We never want anything to be grand and...

las rambles have hundreds of stores, cafés and restaurants. It had at least two subway stops right on it. It is pedestrian only. It has a KFC in a building that's is prettier than any building in Toronto. QQ has nothing of theses. We have forgettable condos on the north with dry cleaners, and...

7 years for me too and today is the first time I saw it working. Toronto is simply remarkable in getting things done.

are most of us who support the removal option "developers"? Plus, what's so bad of developers? They build the city, provide housing and office space. Since when developers become an anathema in Toronto? Yes, they make profits, not without risks, just like in other industries. What makes...

2 minutes, what world do you live in? Right now, at Yonge/Queen (3:45pm Friday), the waiting time for theWB 501 is 4 minutes, 13 minutes, 28 minutes, 41 minutes. The WB 504: 6 minutes, then 17, 22, and 27.

^ judging by the QQ revitalization, that area won't be nearly as nice even after Gardiner is removed. It will simply be a major 8 lane street with glass towers on both sides, and if we are lucky, a few trees here and there (no palm trees of course), and the dominate feature would be cement. None...

key difference: Rambla and Champs Elysees both are lined with shops and restaurants in beautiful architecture on both sides of the street. QQ is lined by glass condos 70% of which are downright ugly, and very little retail. It is the difference between the AGO and le Louvre. Of course one...

not impressed with the "product". After three years of chaos and inconvenience, thus is what we get? A cold boring street made primarily of cement? There is absolutely nothing beautiful or interesting about the new QQ. The only commendable thing I can say is the reduction of car lanes. It is...

I walked past Union and Front st, and it looks quite nice. While I was strolling, I kept thinking, why doesn't the city make Front st, from York to Yonge (or even Church), pedestrian only? The pavement is right, architecture beautiful, and it would be very pleasant for visitors and residents...

I wish they would just scrap the whole plan and just add a few buses.

only recently. In many months before that, it had been extremely slow, weeks without any action. Victoria street has quite some projects this year. This, Yonge/Rich, St Mikes, 88 Scott (a continuation of Victoria), Massey (its back facing Victoria).

likewise.

In other words, it is made outstandingly ugly on purpose? That piece of "history" doesn't need to be remembered. The city and other cities are full of old warehouses for the industrial period. And if I am not mistaken, such history is very well remembered by Redpath plant and other factories...

Dundas W east of McCaul right now is easily the most boring looking stretch in downtown. This could really help.

Your obsessive argument about everything is getting very tiring. Unsophisticated taste, very true; low standard, also accurate. Ugly, certainly. It is reasonable for one to expect more from the major waterfront destination in Toronto. yes, it is mandate is this and that, guess it is a solid...
